Ενας πήλινος κύλινδρος καλυμμένος με Ακκαδική (Ασσυρο-Βαβυλωνιακή) σφηνοειδή γραφή, κατεστραμμένος και σπασμένος, ο κύλινδρος του Κύρου αποτελεί ενα ισχυρό σύμβολο θρησκευτικής ανοχής και πολυ-πολιτισμικότητας. Σε αυτή τη συναρπαστική ομιλία ο Νιλ ΜακΓκρέγκορ, διευθυντής του Βρετανικού Μουσείου, ακολουθεί τα ίχνη της ιστορίας 2600 χρόνων της Μέσης Ανατολής διαμέσου ενός και μόνο αντικειμένου.
